Examples

Writing to an INI file

|file section stream|
file := INIFile new.
section := file section: 'First section'.
section at: 'key1' put: 'val1'.
section at: 'key2' put: 'val2'.

stream := 'test.ini' asFileReference writeStream.
[file writeOn: stream ] 
    ensure: [ stream close ]

The resulting ini file will be:

[First section]
key1=val1
key2=val2

Reading from an INI File

|file section stream|
stream := 'test.ini' asFileReference readStream.

file := INIFile readFrom: stream.
section := file section: 'First section'.

(section at: 'key1') inspect.

stream close.

file sections inspect"

Reading from an INI File using specific encoding

If you need a specific encoding use one of the encoding schemes:

stream := 'aspnet_perf.ini' asFileReference readStreamEncoded: 'utf16le'.
file := INIFile readFrom: stream.
stream close.
file sections inspect
